Northwest Indian News report on Chief Seattle Club

"Every night, close to 2000 people sleep on the streets of Seattle. Of that number, one third are Natives." Frank Moxley reports on the grand opening on the Chief Seattle Club's new building, offering services to homeless Native Americans and Alaska Natives.

 

The wisdom of Chief Seattle

Chief Seattle gave a speech in January 1854 that was reported by Dr. Henry A. Smith in the Seattle Sunday Star in 1887. It is most usually called Seattle's Reply since it was a response to a speech by Territorial Governor Isaac I. Stevens. The speech has been widely cited as "powerful, bittersweet plea for respect of Native American rights and environmental values"
